New ARC Research Explores Emerging Market for IIoT Gateways and Routers

New ARC Advisory Group research on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Gateways and Routers market reveals that these IIoT edge devices are evolving  from providing simple data connectivity and conversion functions to  become compute/connect platforms.

“The IIoT edge has emerged as one of the most diverse, dynamic components of evolving IIoT ecosystems.  IIoT gateways and routers are responding to the need for edge-to-cloud integration and edge computing of cloud processes by adding local computation and application execution to serve enterprise business processes,” according to Chantal Polsonetti, Vice President at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Gateways and Routers Global Market Research report.

“Tighter integration with cloud platforms, addition of incremental local processing power, and application execution capabilities are just some examples of the evolving requirements and capabilities for IIoT gateways and routers at the network edge.  This profile continues to evolve as activities at the edge morph to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI); machine learning (ML); video analytics; and an expanding landscape of hardware, software, and solutions,” added Polsonetti.
